I couldn't choose just one...so here are 3 beautiful things! These three are by far my most beautiful creation. They are down right perfect if your ask me! Jack is working some major shoulder action with those big puppy dog eyes, harper is rocking that chubby little baby body and treys got a grin that melts all the girls hearts! I love these guys and girl I don't know what I would do without them!
Is grillin' weather! Tonight we had a bbq with just our little family! Richard made the best chicken ever (I did marinate it, but since he cooked it he can have the credit)! It was great!
This really doesn't need any words....this girl LOVES her daddy! This picture really couldn't get any cuter!
We are making cookies and harper is seeing what kind of mischief she can get into today!
Well not really new but updated to say the least! We have this skinny little window right by our front door! It is big enough for the nosy people of the world to just look right into our house whenever! I've been trying to think of a way to cover it up without actually covering it up if you know what I mean. I still wanted to be able to see out of it and have a little light shine through. I didn't want it to look like a hermit lives here. I came across this idea a few months ago on pinterest and was all ready to do it, then had somethings come up so I put it on hold. A few days ago though I just needed a nap time project and got to work. I cut all these little guys out of clear coctact paper stuck them on my little window and admired my work! It is perfect! It's covered but not to covered and it doesn't look granny style! It looks like cool, young people live here, but still classy! It's not perfect but it's good enough for me! Did I mention I love it!
My little man child had his very last day of kindergarten today! We came up with the idea this morning that he should wear the same thing he wore his first day and get the same picture! I can't believe how much he's grown up! He's learned so much, he reading like a champ and asking even more questions then he did before! I'm so proud of all that he's done this school year! He's such a good kid and I could be any prouder to be his mom....love you trey baby!
After a long day it's nice to come home and just watch some tv! Snuggling with my baby girl, watching tv (against my beautifully stenciled wall) and just relaxing!!!
These little piggies got their first pedicure! I was painting my own toes and when I finished harper was practically begging to get hers done too! She kept bringing me the polish and trying to climb in my lap! So I finally decided to give in and just do it. She sat so still and really was proud of herself! I thought it was going to be a mess but she did so good and they are just so stinkin' adorable!
At aggie ice cream with the family for "happy home evening"! It was wonderful as always! It has become our new tradition to go to aggie ice cream! The boys love it because they get their own cone! It's pretty much just the best! Here's to family traditions!!!
This guy and his newly acquired goatee! We have some changes coming our way regarding richards job. He will soon be working for megaplex and we couldn't be more excited! The moment Richard found out that megaplex allowed facial hair he stated growing this thing out! Who knew such a small thing could get him so excited! We are super excited about the changes coming our way and all the opportunities that are out there for him with this new company! Richard is such a good dad and a fantastic husband! He always takes such good care of us...don't know what we would do without him!
At the soccer field! I love watching trey and all his little team mates play soccer! Trey has really improved over the last few weeks! Today was a great game! Trey scored the last goal of the game. After, he was so excited he ripped off his shirt and swung it around his head! He is a true soccer player! It made everyone laugh...but if you know him at all you know that is just his personality! He's such a funny kid! I was so proud of him, he was just living completely in the moment! I love watching him on the soccer field...I think I'm really going to be sad when is over! Good thing we've got t ball coming up!!!
This is by far the cutest thing I've ever made! I made this blanket for a sweety baby boy. It was definitely a labor of love! It took me a good number of days to finish it. It was very time consuming sewing all those zigs and zags, and them cutting out all those zigs and zags on the back, but the finished product was totally worth it! Now I'm going to turn around and make another one!
My late night snack! Richard gets us a snack every night....because he's great! Right now I'm on a m&m and lemonade vitamin water kick! Unfortunately tonight my bag of m&ms contained a few to many burnt ones...you win some you lose some.
Me and Richard love ourselves a personalized license plate! We especially like the ones that take you a few minutes to figure out. We always go back and fourth trying to think of what they say. So today when we were driving down the hill to pick up trey from school we saw this beauty! We aren't completely sure what it says (and many hours later still aren't), but we know what we hope it says. We'll let you decide what you think it is!
I have a love hate relationship with grass...I like it, but I'm super allergic to it. It seems to be worse this year then it has been in a few years. I always have to wear sunglasses outside all the time or my eyes will be swollen shut and now if I sit on the grass my skin itches like crazy! But I'm not about to live in a bubble so today we headed to the dam with some friends! We had such a fun time! The boys all fed the ducks, ran around and got out their wiggles! Harper crawled around, ate some of the duck bread and got her first little taste of jealousy! I got to relax, talk to another adult and hold a sweet little baby (the source is harpers jealousy)! We had a fun afternoon, so fun that jack came home and fell asleep on the couch for a good hour long nap! Seriously a nap that never happens with that kid. He slept like a rock and probably would have slept longer if I hadn't woke him up for dinner! Couldn't have asked for a better day!
I had a great mothers day! It was extra special because I got to share it with this little ladies first birthday! We both were spoiled by the boys in this house! It couldn't have been any better! I'm so grateful to be the mom of 3 wonderful kids and the wife to one amazing husband!
Watching jack mow the lawn with harpers new baby princess carriage! Atleast he said he was mowing the lawn...but I saw him eyeing that thing since we opened it up!
Today we've been busy trying to get ready for harpers birthday party tomorrow! We've been busy running around getting last minute things, but we took a small timeout to visit our favorite little place to eat here in the valley! The italian place is our family favorite. We are total regulars. Riley the guy in the picture knows our order before we even walk in the door! That is the kind of costumer service we love!!!
Yes, right now it's chubby butt! Jack recently started referring to all of us as chubby butt. It use to only be directed towards harper, but now it's every one of us! Slowly the term chubby butt has stopped feeling like an insult and more like a term of endearment! You can hear us all ending our conversations with each other as, "I love you....chubby butt!" So if you catch us calling you a chubby butt, it only means we really, really like you!
I snuggle with this sweet girl til she falls asleep for her nap. Today she was asleep in record time...like less then a minute! I love holding her and rubbing her little back until she's asleep. It's just a nice relaxing time for her and I. Also can I mention that she's slept through the night for the last two night!! I've been worried that stopping nursing was going to be horrendous, but as far as sleeping at night it's been a breeze!
